I've had both tires, the T1-R were absolutely awesome in dry conditions but terrible in the rain and wore a lot faster. I currently have a set of the Ventus that need to be replaced but I got 45,000 miles out of them, 245/40/20, better in wet conditions than the T1-R. For the money I would go with the Ventus.

I agree with SCRUFFDOG about T1-R's. Awesome dry but terrible in the rain. I will try these Hankooks next since I've heard many great reviews, also a great price.

Hankook V12 WARNING! you might want to size down if you want to go low. I had 2353020 Falken FK 452 before (no rubbing slammed) and went to the same size V12's and they are a lot bigger and have really squared sidewalls. Needless to say, I had to go pick up some 2253020 Falkens because I did put in a camber kit and it made my front wheels hella flush. I am kinda sad I had to get rid of the v12's for the front.

As for the rear 2553020 on a 9.5, its a bigger tire (v12) so I am going to have to grind out the lip on the quarters. I never even heard anything rub with the falkens in the same size.

So guys, you might want to size down 2 sizes (20mm) if you go with these (ie:going from a Falken FK452 2353020 to a 2153020 Hankook v12) and be slammed without rubbing

V12s are incredible all around tires, but....off the line they do not hook like T1-Rs. I easily shredded my V12s all day long where as my current T1-Rs hook up noticeably harder albeit with some spinning. Cornering also goes to the T1-Rs in my experience-just needs a little more air.
V12s for the price cannot be beat.
